FreeCycle

Recycling not only saves precious resources, energy and greenhouse gases, it can help other people and that fits in nicely with the ethics of Permaculture.

Have you heard of FreeCycle?

It's a grassroots and entirely non profit movement involving people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer. Membership is free. (How good is that?)

Follow the links to the area you live in (i.e. there are Blue Mountains and Penrith Groups plus many more). By giving freely with no strings attached, members of The Freecycle Network help instill a sense of generosity of spirit as they strengthen local community ties and promote environmental sustainability and reuse.
